What is Java Swing?

     

Here, you will know about the Java swing. The Java Swing provides the multiple platform independent APIs interfaces for interacting between the users and GUIs components. All Java Swing classes imports form the import javax.swing.*; package.  Java provides an interactive features for design the GUIs toolkit or components like: labels, buttons, text boxes, checkboxes, combo boxes, panels and sliders etc. All AWT flexible components can be handled by the Java Swing. The Java Swing supports the plugging between the look and feel features. The look and feel that means the dramatically changing in the component like JFrame, JWindow, JDialog etc. for viewing it into the several types of window.

Here the following APIs interfaces and classes are available:

The following interfaces and it's descriptions to be used by the Java swing.

Interfaces

Descriptions

Action This interface performed the action with the ActionListener where the multiple controls are used for same purposes.
BoundedRangeModel This interface defines the data model of components like: sliders and progressBars.
